I noticed the wing files are on my disk. A lot of work to install another prog, plus needing win 3.11, which oddly, still have combined all diskettes on an old cd. Way back when I still had an old system, win 3.11 was installed in just a few seconds. Unless I can get the game to install without extra progs, I'll probably just forget about. Strange there's such a big install hassle from no problems with DS1, to something most fowl with DS2.
Actually DS2 does run in my 32 bit XP, but at about half screen size due to not being able to run it at 640x480 256 color 8 bit. The game says it may not work properly, I just selected to continue anyway.
Before when I thought it didn't complete installing before freezing, it actually did install then the screen would freeze before the screens could close. So I closed them and ran the game. Game menu default is 320x200, so I set it to 640x480 for a bigger game screen, but it only fills about half the monitor. Otherwise, it seems to do just fine. It truly is a windows game and dosbox will not run it. So go figure, how many gamers could not do what I have done. Maybe it's a rare occurrence for my xp 32 bit
